STAFF at a Richmond charity shop pulled on their chaps and Stetsons for a wild west-themed event to encourage people to donate unwanted goods – old or new.
Julie Dobson, manager at the Sue Ryder shop in Finkle Street, Richmond, said: “People throw away hundreds of items a week rather than donate to charity as they feel they are too worn or old – but at Sue Ryder we will take everything – anything unfit for sale can be sold as rag so nothing is wasted.”
The wild west theme was a way of creating awareness of the drive for donations, with "wanted" posters up in store appealing to people to donate goods old or new.
Sue Ryder’s month-long campaign throughout May is urgently calling on people to have a spring clean and donate anything - clothes, furniture, books and bric-a-brac they no longer need.
To donate to the Sue Ryder charity shop in Richmond call 01748-829475, email julie.dobson@suerydercare.org or drop off items to the store.
